I have alot of gardens, they pretty much encircle our whole house, even with the dry summer we've had this year and the fact that I've been gone more than I've been home until lately , my gardens have somehow prevailed. These are African Daisys they come in all sorts of colors and if you keep cutting off the dead blossoms they'll bloom until the frost gets them. Course before that happens I just might dig them up and bring them inside...:o)

I took the photo with my zoom lens as right now I haven't got any macro lenses...man I can't decide what to ask Santa for a longer zoom to get that darn heron out front or the macro..gee maybe If I'm good I can get both..hmmmm :o)

Hello Donna
Your "know how" as a gardener combined to that with a camera in hand should ring a bell at Santa's headquarters!
A lovely presentation of complementary colors.
Best regards.

Hi Donna! I just bought a Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro for $430.00 on ebay. CHEAP! yet the 2.8 is good and I'm gonna do some testing on it! kokos101 uses a Sigma 150mm 2.8 Macro and his pics are awesome! This is how I afford my lenses....I sell off junk I don't want....I roam the streets on trash day for "treasures"...I sold a dresser I got out of a ditch for $250.00 on ebay! HAHA!.... You would not believe what folks throw out! Garage sales are another avenue to find treasures.
Love the colors on this!
B-)

the red stand out really well against the green in the backgound :)
